• Yousican & Linux

  I installed and configured pipewire according to the instructions from the Debian website. And let me tell you, it solved all my problems. The sound quality is good enough for practice, latency is very low. Currently, I just mute my guitar in YS, turn on ToneLib, adjust the volume on the system mixer, and play. Source: over 1 year ago

• After 12 years in a Windows-free environment, my company won't support Linux anymore.

  Red Hat seems to be putting a lot more work into desktop Linux lately. They added extended lifecycle options to RHEL Workstation with RHEL 9, they've been doing a bunch of work on desktop Linux technologies (PipeWire, libcamera, HDR displays, etc.), and they've recently worked with AWS to launch a virtual desktop option in the cloud.

• [XPOST] Steam Remote Play Linux to Linux is in a sorry state. Should have posted here to begin with.

  Pipewire (https://pipewire.org/) is a next-gen audio library which does the job of Pulse ("Regular" audio) and Jack ("low latency" audio. It's still early but I've found it's already truly better than Pulseaudio, which has been buggy since inception. Source: almost 2 years ago

  A segfault is a hard crash basically. Looks like something in your setup or configuration is just had crashing pipewire with that mic. Https://pipewire.org/ At the bottom of thier website they have links to file a bug out to reach them on irc. If you have made any pulse/pipewire configuration changes, you could try undoing them to see if it fixes it. Or, as a testing measure you could try switching from pipewire...

• I spent the xmas break learning how to make my own plugins

  Not OP, but if you want to play with audio production on Linux, you definitely want to check out Pipewire, which is a fantastic new audio server that replaces both JACK and pulseaudio together. Yabridge is what I use to be able to run Windows VSTs. Source: over 2 years ago
